Patrick O'Neil, PISD Director of Instructional Media, continuing to prove that professional learning can take place anywhere by coming at you from Starbucks this month! #Prosper4ward
A4: Ts all have a different delivery; therefore, if all Ts are teaching digital citizenship then hopefully the message will resonate with each student. #Prosper4ward
A1 Establish structure through clear guidelines and modeling. Specifically when introducing Ss to a digital discussion forum, such as Google Classroom questions. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Develop guidelines as a class so that S will take ownership. Be consistent! make sure there are rules and consequences for breaking them! #Prosper4ward
A1: Have a routine and be consistent! Create a classroom routine - when you come to class, you do this... Be consistent! If someone breaks a rule, have the same consequence every time the rule is broken for every kid. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1 - You have to have solid “transition time” expectations. T’s can lose a lot of down-time there. Tell S’s they have 30 s. to log in, start a timer on the board. I also like to “shark” our chromebooks so that they stay logged in, but S’s are not looking @ screens. #Prosper4ward
A1: collecting and putting away procedures can transfer to technology check-out, attention grabbers work both ways, listen first then act - they all apply to multiple environments and classrooms #prosper4ward
A1: You must hold high expectations and have an accountability system in place to actively monitor students and their learning. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Some procedures that transfer to blending learning include: following directions, staying on task, being respectful of others, focusing on your own learning, and turning work in on time. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1 Guidelines & expectations of useage should be clear. Making sure that tech is a learning tool and not a toy. Posted expectations of the days learning target & how we will accomplish our goals. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1 Structure, structure, structure! Kiddos respond great to attention getters, whether it be a traditional or digital learning experience. Also, having a set place for everything maintains organization. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1 Focus on the learning, more than the tool. Review what is the learning goal for the day. The tech is just the tool for accomplishing that.
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Modeling is key! If we expect students to act a certain way, we must model that behavior for them. Having guidelines and expectations set is non negotiable. #Prosper4ward
A1: In Elementary especially, repetition of routines...slow, patient, often! Logging in to accounts can feel like an impossible task, but if treated like a routine, it's something to practice, again and again! #prosper4ward
A1: You must hold high expectations and have an accountability system in place to actively monitor students and their learning. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Working one on one with students , having stations, and collaboration are all classroom procedures that transfer to a blended learning environment. #Prosper4ward
A1 CONSTANTLY monitoring your students is vital. Very often we think "GoGuardian can handle it," but nothing will ever beat a teacher being vigilant. As Mad Eye Moody said it takes constant vigilance! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
Related to making sure it's not a toy is what @MrsPontarelli said right about this time last year - we must make sure that we are not using #edtech as "digital worksheets!" #prosper4ward
A1 Guidelines & expectations of useage should be clear. Making sure that tech is a learning tool and not a toy. Posted expectations of the days learning target & how we will accomplish our goals. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Develop guidelines as a class so that S will take ownership. Be consistent! make sure there are rules and consequences for breaking them! #Prosper4ward
Yep. A lot of the "traditional" stuff still works when you are using devices! We can't forget that and hope the technology runs things for us! #prosper4ward
A1 Structure, structure, structure! Kiddos respond great to attention getters, whether it be a traditional or digital learning experience. Also, having a set place for everything maintains organization. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1- I spend most of the morning on the first day of school talking to the students about the rules THEY think we need to follow to make this their best year yet. Then they create a #Prosper4ward
A1: In Elementary especially, repetition of routines...slow, patient, often! Logging in to accounts can feel like an impossible task, but if treated like a routine, it's something to practice, again and again! #prosper4ward
I agree...consistency is something important for systems to run smoothly, especially when starting out. Something I always have to work on! #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A1 I spend most of the morning on the first day of school talking to the students about what rules/procedures THEY think we need in place to make this their best year yet. Their list is always far better than any rules I could come up with. #Prosper4ward
A1: Establishing and frequently revisiting "norms" together...just as we do in our teacher teams...works well to define the way we work and collaborate digitally and nondigitally! #Prosper4ward
A1: Setting an environment where students are comfortable enough to take a risk and try something new. Structures need to be in place to help support them as they master skills. #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward
A2 I use the example of @Flipgrid teacher approval; I ask Ss what happens when I am no longer their online “filter”? Their audience changes from teachers/peers to colleges/employers. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
So true- such a key piece to learning in the classroom...I often think about ways to incorporate that into all lessons- between peers and myself. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A2: I think modeling digital citizenship is key. This starts day 1. Setting the expectations high when students begin to create an online presence. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: I think this all falls back on what is discussed and modeled in the beginning of the year. Set those expectations on how to be safe and protected. @nearpod has some great resources for teaching digital citizenship. #Prosper4ward
A1 I love to have entry screen information that tells them what to do when they come into the classroom also be something they can access online thru gClassroom. This enables them to "be" in class even if they aren't "in" class for whatever reason.
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: During research and digital activities I love when I hear teachers reminding students to check for authenticity, and that what they put out there stays out there. #Prosper4ward
A2 - Use all the Googliness! Show s's the “shortcuts” like the explore feature in Google Docs that will cite sources. I also like to let s's go online and find out everything they can about a subject BEFORE I teach it so they don't realize they're learning/reading #Prosper4ward
A2: Teach your Ss how to email! Teach them about what should be in the subject & the body, about tone and appropriate times to email. Teach Ss how to use email to self advocate for help! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: Finding credible sources and using proper citations in research. Teaching copyright/plagiarism as an ethical behavior. Lessons on proper digital discussion and how to effectively represent yourself online. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: We have recently added this poster in the PHS library near one set of computers. We plan to change the poster out monthly with other digital citizenship tips. #Prosper4ward
A2: Before ss get on the computer, ts having a discussion about appropriate content and communication online. How to compose emails is a skill that needs to be taught!!!
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2- modeling digital citizenship and having clear expectations...spending time creating a strong classroom culture will help with this too #Prosper4ward
A2: Teach your Ss how to email! Teach them about what should be in the subject & the body, about tone and appropriate times to email. Teach Ss how to use email to self advocate for help! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: During research and digital activities I love when I hear teachers reminding students to check for authenticity, and that what they put out there stays out there. #Prosper4ward
A2: Show Ss examples of what a digital footprint looks like. Remind them that they are responsible for what they put out for the world to see. What do they want their story to tell about them? #DigitalCitizenship#Prosper4ward
Building relationships is key! Being consistent and letting all students be a part and taking ownership of expectations is super important! #prosper4ward
A2 Modeling and accountability. There has to be a checks and balances, and conversations when students aren’t doing there part. #ClassroomManagement#Prosper4ward
A2: Model for your students what you want to see from them and hold (and yourself) to it! Also, teaching electronic time management. Is is really any different than other ways we need to manage our time? I think it takes the same mindfulness. #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward
A2: I think this all falls back on what is discussed and modeled in the beginning of the year. Set those expectations on how to be safe and protected. @nearpod has some great resources for teaching digital citizenship. #Prosper4ward
A1- I always think that building relationships is the best classroom management strategy, and I think it’s the same with blended learning. You have to set high expectations and communicate those expectations. Building trust is key! #prosper4ward
A2 I love using @nearpod where I can be in control and actively monitoring- and I love @flipgrid where they know I will be checking and monitoring before it posts. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2 I try to let my 11th grade students learn how to "control their tech". I let them have their phones on their desk, *face down* throughout the lesson and I help them to see when is an appropriate time to check notifications and when isn't.
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: We discuss the importance of citing sources and utilizing photos that meet our needs. Also, we talk about our digital footprint and how we leave crumbs of character behind when we interact online. #Prosper4ward
A2 Digital Citizenship! Model. Show them how to get to safe search sources via the library website. So many SAFE tools at their fingertips! #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward
A2- @goguardian has made this so much easier! I love that I can lock and unlock screens quickly when I need to get their attention, and monitor them to keep them on track! #prosper4ward
Agreed, and @goguardian is an amazing tool, but I think they'd agree that nothing can beat a teacher being constantly vigilant! I won't add my Mad Eye gif again, but I think @rlmiller137 should give me more points! #prosper4ward
A2 I think lots of monitoring at first and then slowly letting go that way they learn to take responsibility & ownership of their actions. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Structure is something that overlaps regular classroom management and a blended learning environment. Clear expectations, modeling, and allowing time for questions. Being proactive instead of reactive is a best practice in both #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: We discuss the importance of citing sources and utilizing photos that meet our needs. Also, we talk about our digital footprint and how we leave crumbs of character behind when we interact online. #Prosper4ward
A2: Build in choice and make room for creativity! Don’t assume they can’t handle something. Give them the benefit of the doubt and build a culture of trust and accountability. #prosper4ward
Review expectations always...well in kinder at least! Also, create “techy teammate” that work well together and can keep each other accountable!
#prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: just discussing this today w 7th gr research proj. We saw amazing engagement-examined the kinds of things asked of kids online, the depth, the self selection, their curiosity sparked all made a diff. Plus we wandered the whole time! #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
I love using @Seesaw because my students know that I need to approve the items they post. Plus even my #firstgraders can work on digital citizenship skills and learn how to be kind online! 💙 #Prosper4Ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: We discuss the importance of citing sources and utilizing photos that meet our needs. Also, we talk about our digital footprint and how we leave crumbs of character behind when we interact online. #Prosper4ward
A2: Providing credible and appropriate feedback in a professional way to recorded performances. Teaching constructive criticism and how to communicate effectively online. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: We discuss the importance of citing sources and utilizing photos that meet our needs. Also, we talk about our digital footprint and how we leave crumbs of character behind when we interact online. #Prosper4ward
A2: We discuss the importance of citing sources and utilizing photos that meet our needs. Also, we talk about our digital footprint and how we leave crumbs of character behind when we interact online. #Prosper4ward
A3 Clearly stating expectations and directions is vital to Ss autonomy. @MandyatSchool has encouraged us to utilize @Screencastify to record directions and responses, which I have found to be incredibly powerful and effective with my Ss #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: Don’t limit your students! If they come up with a cool and safe way to do something that shows their learning say yes. Engaged students stay busy and productive. Chunk work and build in breaks. #prosper4ward
A3: Students do self evaluations and reflections to monitor their understanding and progress. Having them set goals has been a game changer. Students do this individually and then we do it in our class meeting as well. #Prosper4ward
A2: Using @goguardian to monitor their activity and teaching Digital Citizenship Mini-Lessons whenever using a new app or program. Also, taking advantage of those "teachable moments" when they arise and using them as a "learning moment" for all #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A1: Guide students to set procedures along side you so there is buy in to class regulations. Allow students creative expression when choosing activities. Empower students to partner in designing lessons. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A3: Allowing student choice is a great way to increase autonomy. Whether it be digital or analog, students love being able to choose how they show mastery of the content. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Give students voice and choice with showing their learning. Try Choice Boards, Hyperdocs, or stations. Have students set learning goals and complete assignments targeting those goals. Use Pre-Assessments to help Ss set those goals. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: START ON DAY 1 and NEVER QUIT! Structure, procedures, and consistency help students to know expectations, understand limits, and thrive. Work in the autonomy slowly and in phases and in no time at all the kiddos are running the show (in a good way :-)) #Prosper4ward
A3 Routines work wonders! When Ss know exactly what to do upon entering the classroom, they take charge of their own learning. I've seen kiddos enter rooms & immediately begin stations, read instructions on the board, &/or go to GC to see expectations. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3 Clearly stating expectations and directions is vital to Ss autonomy. @MandyatSchool has encouraged us to utilize @Screencastify to record directions and responses, which I have found to be incredibly powerful and effective with my Ss #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
Sometime WE can learn from the STUDENTS! We don't have all the right answers ... that's what's so great about our job. We are lifelong learners and we are teaching our kids it's okay to do things differently.#Prosper4ward
A2: Don’t limit your students! If they come up with a cool and safe way to do something that shows their learning say yes. Engaged students stay busy and productive. Chunk work and build in breaks. #prosper4ward
A2: Again, expectations matter- even teaching how to watch a video for purpose is a key to controling distractions..all teachable moments. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A3: Student choice where and when possible! Giving students the freedom to choose their path will give them more ownership in the learning. #Prosper4ward
A3 - We all thrive on choice, so give them choices that YOU like. Easy way - differentiate the ending product. If your goal is S's know who Abraham Lincoln is give them product choice- podcast, slideshow, or music video. Also, use TEK-based rubrics to encourage risk #Prosper4ward
A2 @goguardian has an AMAZING feature that allows teachers to have control on how many tabs a student can have open! It also monitors their browsing history to help them make smart choices! It’s all about staying focused and using tech for the task! #Prosper4Ward#CMDigitalAge
A3 Ss set goals & have reflection time. Ss were working with their assessment in a reflection doc. Ss corrected their mistakes and celebrating successes. 1 Ss pointed out that she set a previous goal it helped her achieve her learning task on this one. #ownership#prosper4ward
A3 self-evals, reflections, conferences w/ T on expected progress, but also establishing ownership & choies. This is our classroom, this is our learning. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
it is the same thing we do with our own children - broccoli or carrots? they think they are in charge - but we are "supervising" their autonomy #prosper4ward
I agree! When kids have ownership it really helps, plus maybe they will understand the 'why' when you go through this process. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A3 I love @Seesaw for recording activity directions and student responses. It builds independence and lets me work with small groups. #ClassroomManagement#Prosper4ward
A3. Don’t assign anything that will give you exactly the same product from all of your kids. When kids know they are creating something unique, it becomes an experience not an activity. #prosper4ward
A3: Differentiation& allowing students to be creative! I love the use of hyperdocs that provide structure but also allow students freedom to complete different activities at their own pace and choice. We always love a good @Flipgrid in our hyperdocs #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Students should be a part of their own goal setting. This helps hold them accountable. Then give them choice on how to attain those goals and they have more autonomy. #DigitalChoiceboards#Prosper4ward
A3: Give students voice and choice with showing their learning. Try Choice Boards, Hyperdocs, or stations. Have students set learning goals and complete assignments targeting those goals. Use Pre-Assessments to help Ss set those goals. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Autonomy is entirely reliant upon student motivation - they will focus and go above and beyond and choose their own tools and surprise us IF they are MOTIVATED to do an assignment. The best way to motivate students? A real audience!
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3 Autonomy through structure sounds Orwellian, but it's true! Procedures have always been key to freedom. I taught tech theatre and Ss knew how to check in, get tools, start working daily. Routine, digitally or IRL, is grease to make the machine move. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: To increase autonomy at the MS level you must model it, teach it, reteach it, and post it. The best way is to have clear expectations. Give a task list that students can check off as they go. #Prosper4ward
A3: Give Ss some control over their digital work. Menu boards where students can choose to get more help with a skill or move on to more challenging applications of the skill can help increase the autonomy. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: Something I just learned today about @goguardian ... You can run two sessions at a time. Want to give a student more boundaries without changing the scene for your whole class? Just make a new session for them and open it in a new tab! My mind... #prosper4ward
A3 My top #studentagency tip would be to highlight your techxperts and to establish a classroom culture where students solve AND help each other solve their problems. We’ve got a poster to help establish this culture #ask3b4me#CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward
This is great for including in T feedback, too! Don't correct Ss work. Give them a link that explains the concept or shows an example and let them correct it.
#Prosper4ward#CMDitialAge
A4 Yep. This is as important to student safety and wellbeing as is making sure the door to the school latches when we come in. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Ss should set their own goals and T should be the guide to help them. You provide several options that will help Ss attain that goal. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2 - Giving specific short simple things for students to start with and then finding engaging topics that keep them focused and enagaged. Also, GoGuardian has been a huge help for me as a teacher to monitor. #Prosper4ward
Hyperdocs have allowed me to keep nothing back from the students! You need to review? Here everything we talked about and more. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Using familiar lesson "frames" can help with autonomy. For example, science labs meant we'd be reflecting via Seesaw, a new essential question meant a new Flipgrid board of answers, etc. They were able to concentrate on content rather than just the tech. tool. #Prosper4ward
A3 Yes, student choice is where it is at! Also, leave room for student input on something they feel would work, too (in case the choices given do not work for them and they have a comparable idea). Be open—#prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: Even something that seems as small as allowing students to sit anywhere in the room while they work can increase student autonomy in classroom structure.#prosper4ward
A3. Just like we allow students the ability to choose their own learning spots with #flexibleseating, it is equally as important to allow them a choice in the work they create. Give students a choice in their final product with tech tools like @Flipgrid#Prosper4Ward#CMDigital
A3: Ive liked pre-teaching some Ss a task or skill that they are then in charge of helping the class learn. Empowering all learners, they each get to be in the teaching role-theyre the problem solvers rather than just me #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A3: Providing a list of resources for students to use as a starting point in projects or research and they can manage what they are seeking to expand on ideas while keeping credibility of the source and staying on track with the task. #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward#studentagency
A4 It is my responsibility to create an environment for Ss that is welcoming and safe. As classrooms become increasingly digital, we must continue to maintain positive environments and arm Ss with the skills they need to be productive digital citizens #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2 #prosper4ward being intentional about teaching and modeling my digital citizenship. Digital offtask behavior is going to happen. Allow time for that to be school appropriate and then expect the time for the taught citizenship to occur when required.
A3 students thrive with knowing the procedures and routines. Once established they will be willing to take risks and be willingly to fail in order to grow. This leads to student autonomy. #Prosper4ward
A2: I like the idea of options. While tech is amazing and so critical to our Ss learning, it’s not the be all end all. Sometimes students want to produce physical products and we should allow it! #Prosper4Ward
A3: Providing a list of resources for students to use as a starting point in projects or research and they can manage what they are seeking to expand on ideas while keeping credibility of the source and staying on track with the task. #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward#studentagency
A2- finding a tool that can highly motivate the student on a digital level. Knowing what your kids are into helps as well. Finding new tools is always good too. #Prosper4ward
A4: If a student is using a computer in your class, then you are responsible for teaching digital citizenship. A lot of students use technology, but do not know some of the implications of that use. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: Set clear expectations and be diligent about their digital safey. Once students know you mean what you say they get serious about the task at hand.
#Prosper4Ward#CMDigitalAge
My techy teammates help promote autonomy with students! Each teammate has strengths and weaknesses and they’re able to help each other and learn from one another!! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4 Yes! We need to protect, empower, & instruct our Ss on how to create and maintain a positive digital footprint. Utilizing technology as a tool is great, but it's our responsibility to ensure it's done the right way through digital citizenship. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: Absolutely!! We have Chromebooks in EVERY class, there EVERY teacher is responsible for teaching kids how to use them appropriately. Digital Citizenship is a life skill! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
Ss need to be guided in all aspects of learning and how to be a responsible digital citizen is no different than teaching Ss to “choose kindness”. It is our duty to teach proper forms of communication. How to conduct/protect yourself online. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3: I tell my Ss all the time: “Every voice matters.” And yes, I’m a choir teacher but nothing is as important as the student voice in learning. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A3 Students must be part of THEIR goal creating process. They cannot be held accountable for something they had no part in creating. Make it meaningful! Students love sharing on @Seesaw -goals and evidence of progress with parents. #CMdigitalage#prosper4ward
A4 Digital Citizenship is as important to student safety and wellbeing as is making sure the door to the school latches when we come in. I strongly believe that Ts should embed digital citizenship into everything they teach electronically. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: Truth! Kids think they know everything there is to know about technology, but they need help understanding the big picture of their actions online. #Prosper4ward
A4: We are all digital citizens. Encourage positive ways to connect online. Show S how to represent themselves online & help make world a better place! #Prosper4ward
A4 We wouldn’t expect someone to fly a plane without instruction & guided, repeated, structured practice. Why would we let our s's go into the world w/o the same in regards to digital citizenship? T's are extra parents to our S’s, so we have to step up #Prosper4ward#teachermom
That's so true! Sometimes they come up with a much better idea than I had! Last year my S's created a tourbuilder as an alternative to a site because I let them test it. It turned out to be one of the best projects!!!! #Prosper4ward
Even something as small as allowing students to choose where they sit in the room while they work can increase student autonomy in classroom structure (at least in 3rd grade). #prosper4ward
A3: Answer student questions with guiding questions designed to narrow their focus. This will occasionally frustrate them, but discovering an answer is how they learn. Give them a piece, never the whole thing. #prosper4ward
A4 Digital Citizenship is as important to student safety and wellbeing as is making sure the door to the school latches when we come in. I strongly believe that Ts should embed digital citizenship into everything they teach electronically. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A2: Digital distractions are minimized if lessons are engaging and relevant to student passions. If the lesson is something that peeks interest, students will not have reason to wander. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
Q4- it is important for us to teach digital citizenship in the library...partnering with teachers on this is powerful and it helps Ss understand the importance of their digital footprint #modelmodelmodel#Prosper4ward
A4 Digital citizenship isn’t a “one and done.” Natural, daily conversations are key. Utilizing technology as a tool is great, but it's our responsibility to ensure it's done the right way through digital citizenship. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: I try to teach infuse it whenev it's approp with the device or app we are using. It shouldn't be an isolated, forced lesson that isn't applicable. It should be timely & relevant to what kids are using so they will see a purpose &will have "buy-in" #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: This week and next week I’m showing Ss how to navigate and use @FollettLearning Destiny. I’ve emphasized the necessity to manage and protect their own accounts. #Prosper4Ward
A4: I agree. It is all educators responsibility to teach Digital Citizenship to their students. If you use technology in class, you should teach the proper ways to utilize those tools. #Prosper4ward
A4: Some of our best lessons w Digital Citizenship begin with mistakes, I collect ones I find online and share- getting kids to problem solve like the show...'What would you do' #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A3 provide “stretch” or “challenge” for those that need/want a push, while supporting those that need assistance and allowing them to self-regulate what they need. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4 Digital citizenship is the new and improved character education for a tech savvy world! It must be explicitly taught and modeled! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
Everyday! Explicitly teaching, reminding, modeling, monitoring comments and responses in @seesaw and highlighting good citizenship. It’s a continual process #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4; I believe teaching digital citizenship is the responsibility of both parents and educators. It takes a village to lead our Ss in the right direction, so the village should take responsibility in all aspects of Ss growth. #Prosper4ward
From the moment any computers enter the classroom Digital Citizenship must start and MUST continue each and every day. Ts have to model this and remind students of this daily and in context to what they are doing within the classroom. #Prosper4ward
A4: I always loved sharing stories of my sister-in-law (an associate dean of admissions) and the social media and posts she would find from potential applicants. Someone is always watching - whether it is your teacher, parent, friend, or potential school/employer #Prosper4ward
A4- it is important for us to teach digital citizenship in the library...partnering with teachers on this is powerful and it helps Ss understand the importance of their digital footprint #modelmodelmodel#Prosper4ward
A4 Sometimes we teach #digitalcitizenship w/o thinking about it. If we are facilitating student interaction in online spaces like #seesaw or blog posts then we are teaching them transferable skills for online spaces of their own choosing. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: Digital Citizenship is essentially teaching students how to be a good citizen in the world they live in. It is incredibly important. #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: Digital citizenship has just become a natural part of our everyday discussions. Sometimes it becomes a large discussion, sometimes we mention it in passing, but it’s a priority everyday. #prosper4ward
A4: I love #padlet for collaborating in the classroom and finding teachable moments to help foster positive #DigitalCitizenship . Ss get choice on who to respond to and work on ways to appropriately participate. #CMDigitalAge#prosper4ward
Q4 - Taking time to remind of them of their expectations. Discussing how to ensure things are reliable, and reminding them about kindness, even online. #prosper4ward
A4: From the moment any computers enter the classroom Digital Citizenship must start and MUST continue each and every day. Ts have to model this and remind students of this daily and in context to what they are doing within the classroom.
#Prosper4ward
A4: With upper classmen, I love to start this conversation with the googleganger activity where students google their names to see what pops up. (Learned that from @kklaster and it's a great mini-lesson!)
#Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4: Digital Citizenship must be taught explicitly and reviewed regularly. Just as I remind students of the expectations of a line every time we are about to line up, I also need to remind them of digital citizenship expectations every time we open our Chromebooks. #Prosper4ward
Yes, including what adults in the community are putting out there! We are all role models for using tech responsibly-remembering to get off tech too! #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A4 Within my badge program that I have begun to roll out is a “techie” section. In order to earn badges for the different tools, students have to show they can both responsibly and effectively! Good citizenship is everywhere! #Prosper4Ward#CMDigitalAge
In this 'digital age' where parents are seemingly discouraging its use...I love reading how WE are embracing it in education! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4 We wouldn’t expect someone to fly a plane without instruction & guided, repeated, structured practice. Why would we let our s's go into the world w/o the same in regards to digital citizenship? T's are extra parents to our S’s, so we have to step up #Prosper4ward#teachermom
A4. Got to shoutout @Seesaw again because my 1stgraders are learning about safe, kind &responsible posts/comments all within a monitored environment! I❤️allowing my students to be apart of the digital age &learn these important skills early in their school years! #Prosper4Ward
Which nowadays is even your voice and actions outside of technology. So many people can record at the drop of a hat, you never know what can get out there. #prosper4ward
I love that you help your students take risks and sometimes fail in a SAFE environment! You're a great support system for our kids!!! We're all lucky to have you at @ProsperRogersMS#Prosper4ward
A1 Establishing routines, model, model, and more modeling... especially for our younger kiddos. Also, having the Ss devolop class norms. It increases their buy in and makes them theirs. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A4: Modeling good practices as simple as like logging out, evaluating information and using safe resources to even our youngest learners. As lie-berry-ians, we are always embedding online safety. Even kindergarteners can cite a source!!! #Prosper4ward
In this 'digital age' where parents are seemingly discouraging its use...I love reading how WE are embracing it in education! #Prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
THANKYOU! #Prosper4Ward It’s been a pleasure learning with all of you tonight. Feel free to go back through the chat and interact with those ideas that inspired you. And keep sharing your ideas for creating effective device-rich learning spaces. #CMDigitalAge
A4- practice! Practice! Practice! They more students have the opportunity to interact with other students in an academic settings, the better they get. This is also something I tie in to our citizenship lessons. #prosper4ward
A4: I ask students to think about something they said or did last period, last week, or last year that they wish they could take back. Then I ask them if they would write that on a sticky note and wear it on their forehead to job interviews in the future 😂 #prosper4ward
A4: I always loved sharing stories of my sister-in-law (an associate dean of admissions) and the social media and posts she would find from potential applicants. Someone is always watching - whether it is your teacher, parent, friend, or potential school/employer #Prosper4ward

A4 Digital Citizenship is embedded in everything we do! T Approving comments on @Seesaw, modeling what a well-thought out response to someone's work or an open-ended response in google classroom looks like. Show, don't tell. #prosper4ward#CMDigitalAge
A4b: My husband is a digital marketer... I use some of his tricks of the trade to help me show students how they can use their "power" in the digital world to even *promote* themselves as they begin to apply for colleges and scholarships.

A2 Engaging lessons, teaching Ss that kindness is universal whether it’s with paper/pencil or with tech, and using tech in meaningful lessons not as time fillers or just to be techy are some ways teachers can decrease digital distractions. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
A4 Absolutely it is our responsibility to teach digital citizenship. It is the world our students live in and they need to be given theopportunity to practice the skills to be successful in their professional and personal lives. Isn’t that what education is about! #Prosper4ward
A3: 1-2-3 then me. Students read the activity silently for 1 min. 2 minutes to discuss with a partner, 3 min. to plan the task. Only after the 3 min. can they ask for assistance. Students are taking charge of their own learning and guiding each other. #CMDigitalAge#Prosper4ward
